1.2.2.6 PARALLEL GENERAL-PURPOSE I/O PORTS.
The MC68328 processor supports
up to 77 bit general-purpose I/O ports that can be configured as general-purpose I/O pins or
as dedicated peripheral-interface pins of the on-chip modules.
Each port pin can be independently programmed as a general-purpose I/O pin even when
other pins related to that on-chip peripheral are used as dedicated pins. If all the pins for a
particular peripheral are configured as general-purpose I/O, the peripheral will still operate
normally, although this is useful only with the RTC and timer modules.
1.2.2.7 SOFTWARE WATCHDOG.
A software watchdog timer protects against system fail-
ures by providing a means of escape from unexpected input conditions, external events, or
programming errors. Once started, the software watchdog timer must be cleared by soft-
ware on a regular basis so that it never reaches its time-out value. When it reaches the time-
out value, the watchdog timer assumes that a system failure has occurred, and the software
watchdog logic resets or interrupts the MC68EC000 core.
1.2.2.8 LOW POWER STOP LOGIC.
Various power-save options are available: turn off
unused peripherals, reduce processor clock speed, disable the processor altogether, or a
combination of these.
A wake-up-from-low-power mode can be achieved by an interrupt at the interrupt controller
logic that runs throughout the period of processor low-power. Programmable interrupt
sources can serve as events to wake up the EC000 core.
The on-chip peripherals can initiate a wake-up; for example, the timer can be set to wake-
up after a certain elapsed time or number of external events.
1.2.3 LCD Controller
• Interfaces with monochrome STN LCD modules
• Up to 4 levels of gray scale through frame rate control
• Use system RAM for display memory
• Screen refresh through DMA
1.2.4 UART and Infrared Communication Support
The UART supports standard asynchronous serial communications at normal baud rates
and is compatible with IrDA Physical Communication Protocol
1.2.5 Real-Time Clock
A 32.76kHz or 38.4kHz crystal (the same as the clock synthesizer clock source) drives the
real-time clock in the MC68328 processor and provides an alarm interrupt.
1.2.6 JTAG Test Access Port
To assist in system diagnostics, the MC68328 processor includes dedicated user-accessi-
ble test logic that is fully compliant with the IEEE 1149.1 standard for boundary-scan test-
ability, often referred to as JTAG (Joint Test Action Group).
